The approach to application development is changing

Traditional languages

Waterfall development

On-premise deployments

Open, dynamic programming languages

Agile development

Cloud deployments

C h a n g e

Deliver faster but manage cost and quality

Always-connected web and

mobile apps

Business

Rapid adoption of private

and public cloud

Technology

Hiring and Ramping Skilled Developers is Taking Too Long

Faster application delivery poses challenges…

3

60% of data center application failures are the result of faulty

deployment and uncoordinated changes

58% of organizations are unhappy with application

response times

On average, 3 out of 10 developers are only fixing

production problems rather than building new functionality

D e v e l o p D e p l o y M a n a g e

How do I cut the time developers spend on problem resolution?

How do I enable developers to be more productive?

How do I release faster while maintaining quality?

How do I meet end-user expectations for application response times?


The Challenges

No standardization across the development team

It takes too long to purchase, install and update

development and test environments

Unstructured, non-reusable code

Inconsistent skill levels

Best Practices

Use a development environment that supports

agile development

Leverage best-in-class reusable frameworks

Leverage the flexibility of cloud

Invest in building professional skills of

developers, and standardization



How do I make end -users happy with application response times?


How do I make my developers more productive?

Accelerate and standardize development with Zend

Framework

Zend Studio – award-winning, high productivity IDE

Single code base for iOS, Android and Blackberry

native apps

Leverage cloud for faster provisioning, testing at

production scale

Comprehensive PHP training and certification

undertaken by thousands each year

Zend helps improve developer productivity


5

Agile Development

RIA: Ajax/Flash

Debugging & Profiling

Unit Testing

Code Assist, Refactoring

Zend Server Integration

Remote Systems

(FTP, SSH, SFTP)

SVN, Git

Zend Framework


The Challenges

Discrepancies in environment for development,

test and production increase deployment failure

rates

Manual deployment is error-prone and slow







6

Best Practices

Develop and deploy on a consistent, supported

PHP stack

Take manual errors out of app deployment

through automation


A consistent PHP stack used across development,

testing and production

Enterprise-grade support

Automated application packaging and deployment

Manage a cluster of servers as one server

Zend Framework minimizes errors through code

re-use and best practices

Deployment Solution (best practices)

Security audit by Zend’s PHP experts

Zend increases deployment success rates

Code Tracing Deployment

PHP

Zend Framework

Session Management

Auto-scaling

Clustering

Acceleration

Monitoring

Job Queue

Caching


The Challenges

Performance not optimized across all tiers

Difficult to understand what slows applications

down when they move into production

Hard to scale applications quickly to meet

demand spikes







8

Best Practices

Optimize performance in each stage of

request/response cycle

Monitor and manage performance of PHP apps

Design and deploy apps to withstand

unpredictable load conditions


Multi-level optimization across the HTTP

request/response cycle

Built-in Application Performance Monitoring

Auto-scaling using elastic cloud infrastructures

Out-of-the-box high performance session

management supporting High Availability

Architecture and performance audit by Zend’s

expert consultants

Zend Server optimizes the performance of

your PHP apps

Monitoring

Code Tracing

Acceleration

Caching

Job Queue

Deployment

Support Hot Fixes

PHP

Zend Framework

Aggregated Server Mgmt

Auto-scaling

Session Management


The Challenges

Infrastructure monitoring does not give visibility into

app performance

Difficult to reproduce problems seen in production

80% of problem resolution time is spent pinpointing

root cause

Blamestorming between development and

operations







10

Best Practices

Aggregated application-specific monitoring

Eliminate need to reproduce problems

Greater Dev-Ops collaboration








See inside your apps - code tracing eliminates the

need for problem reproduction

Integration with Zend Studio further simplifies

troubleshooting

Find PHP errors faster

• Performance, functional and configuration errors

• Proactive monitoring across a cluster

• Monitoring thresholds improve Dev-to-Ops

collaboration

Cut problem resolution time by 50%

“Our choice of Magento Enterprise with the Zend PHP solution for

development and server-side deployment helped us achieve a six-

digit dollar cost savings within the first year, while introducing a

whole new level of e-Commerce functionality for Villeroy &

Boch.”

Pascal Rheinert, Dr.-Ing., Internet & eBusiness Services

“Zend Server’s Code Tracing capabilities reduced our debugging and

troubleshooting timeline by as much as 50 percent. We use it constantly, and

it helps us identify root cause issues proactively before they have impact on

our users.” “ “


ROI Examples

16

When it comes to ROI, we consider our investment in Zend technology to

be a benefit on several fronts. It is easy to manage the PHP stack, and

the strength of the error detection and reporting helps us reduce the

time spent troubleshooting while increasing application availability

and responsiveness. With session clustering alone, Zend more than

paid for itself the moment we flipped the switch.” “ “
